1 hour agoMy hope is that we always remember they rode on their dad’s shoulders, Max constantly covering Gareth’s eyes. My hope is they remember the laughter, the playing, the security in this place, our home, so they always feel safe when they come back here. Back to us.

6 hours agoI recently got a prayer journal that has an area to write the things that you want God to teach you. The thing I've been noticing writing the most is for God to speak clearly to me on what HE wants from me; not feeling pressured to do the things other people expect from me. To hear HIS voice clearly and to drown out the noise of everything else that isn't going to matter in 10, 20, or 50 years. I've been much more intentional about how I spend my days lately, not filling it with busy work that doesnt actually matter. What does matter??? This buddy right here. Today was spent celebrating a perseverance award and lunch on the lawn with Wendy's and a Almond Joy candy bar. 💕💕💕 If you want to read more about ways I am trying to hear God in the midst of the noise, and a few mom wins and a trick that's working well training this puppy pack I've created, then head over to my blog to read more about them 💕 Link in profile

8 hours agoCarefree and full of love. I just wish it could stay that way. It’s been playing on my mind this week the amount of pressure men are under to be the most amazing husband, father and also how much strain they put on themselves to strive for the top so they can provide for their family. Yes I know women are doing all of the above too but we let out our worries and stresses to our girlfriends or nag to our husbands. Men don’t know how to show their emotions so easily and often have no one they can talk too. I just hope these boys learn how to cry and talk if they have issues. I don’t want them to ever feel alone. Do you ever think into your child’s future and the thought of it scare you?

12 hours ago{DIY} Well, it happened. No, I’m not referring to the fact that my baby is turning one in less than a week. And let’s not talk about how that makes me feel 😭🙀😍. What happened is I just opened my last jar of homemade laundry detergent. That I made when I was 8 months pregnant. Yup, it lasted our “very dirty two boys who go through multiple outfits in one day” family for over a year. 🙌🏻 Guess it’s time to make a new batch! Which really just means go to Amazon, buy a couple of ingredients, and mix. 🤷🏼‍♀️Easy peasy! (Haha! Do people still say things like that??) Let me know if you need the recipe! #diydetergent#makeyourown

21 hours agoMy person right here is never still and I cannot believe that I could capture an image where he is so so calm, looking out of the window (may be he's imagining superheroes flying outside of our window with all those fancy costumes). I wish I could freeze time and watch him drown in all those imaginations without me worrying about time , about work , about responsibilities. (basically without me being busy.) Monday's are hard really and to get me through I atleast have the moment frozen not just in a photograph but in a cinemagraph.

1 day agoMom-mom? Mom-mom? The sleepy voice calls out as he slowly slides down the stairs one at a time in his pajamas. I remember the light being pretty in the hall at that time of day so grab my camera and literally run out of the office to catch him before he reaches the bottom. ISO 1 million but mission accomplished 😂

1 day agoHopefully this was our last cold day so we can start watering our plants and bring them back to life 🌱

Elsie loves watering the plants and she was so excited when she found her watering can from last summer! ☀️

1 day agoWe tried to make the most of the snow today, and it lasted all of ten minutes. Luca spent the whole time rolling down the hill in the snow and then declared he was freezing and wanted to go home. We tried. 🙈

1 week agoSomething about sleeping babes is just so serene.. 😍
Poor thing has had a rough few days with her molars lately along with the endless fire ant battle in our backyard. She has so many sporadic bites, I make sure she isn’t standing where they are but I am tellin’ you our home sits on top of one giant pile. 😒
